I worked for a multimedia company last year doing system installs (sound, video, projectors, etc...). Without a doubt, some of the hardest work I've ever done. Kudos to you for getting the job done. Good luck with the rest of the install.

Hi,... an EQ with a sub output should suffice for your crossover (not as good as an actual crossover but probably not the reason your losing "thump". I am assuming you are using your eq correctly and have it in the chain so that the sub output is only sending to the sub amps (and not the...

My guess is bad cables somewhere in the chain.

Hello,... If I'm running an amp that specs 1000 watts at 8 ohms bridged, - into (2) 8 ohm speakers (output of amp to speaker "1", parallel output of speaker to speaker "2")... am I running 1000 watts to both speakers or 500 to each...?? Thanks,

That's a great article. UPDATE. I went through the system and made sure all the grounds were correct. I found that the removable plug from the main mackie VLZ console only had 2 prongs on it. We had let someone use the system a few weeks ago and they changed the cord that is kept with the...

GREAT suggestion for those on a super tight budget

Thank you everybody for your input. Bill,... Do you offer financing and/or net terms...? Do you have rental or demo units that you can sell which would bring me into my budget...?? Feel free to contact me offline.

Wayne, - I think you hit the nail on the head. The guitarist WAS using an older tube head - and this seems to be the difference between this band and the others that have used the system. So let me get this right. Although his "amp" was properly grounded via the three prong plug, - his amp...

Hi Guys,... Thanks for all your knowlegable advice. I will try to setup as suggested. The main issues I see in all responses is that there is no TIME once a show is scheduled to start to trace the source of these hums, correct, and stay on schedule. Showtime is hectic enough without...

thanks,... so 1. How come this just came up tonight after 6 months and many other shows...?? 2. How do I eliminate the hum if I don't ground lift the system...? All your advice is appreciated.

Hi All,.... I have an active system setup in a local venue. Tonight, - a couple of the artists reported being "shocked" by the vocal mics (beta 58's). I've had the same setup in the same location for the last 6 months and today was the first time that anybody ever reported any issue. I...

I've looked into renting, - and for two L16's and 20' of triangle truss the total is 175/wk, - a little steep considering I'll need it for the whole summer (to rent for the summer the total is 2100). To purchase that setup outright I'll need to spend about 2700, - I'm looking to spend about...

Hello all. I run a small production company in NH. This year, we will be running several outside concerts. I'm looking for affordable crank lifts (12' or higher) and approx 15 ft of triangle trussing. I'm hanging a few rotating lights, some par 56 cans, and a few scan lights. It seems that...
